AYESHA'S DREAMS
AMMIIII, YES, YES… I’M COMING. I’LL PACK MY THINGS JUST AFTER I AM DONE WITH THESE UTENSILS - JUST GIVE ME A LITTLE TIME.
​
IT’S A BUSY, BUSY DAY TODAY!
I AM LEAVING FOR THE VILLAGE. IT’LL TAKE US ALMOST
A DAY TO REACH, BECAUSE IT IS SO FAR AWAY.
I’M NOT GOING ALONE, OF COURSE. MY MOTHER, BROTHER AND I ARE GOING.
WE ARE GOING TO MEET A BOY'S FAMILY YOU KNOW... FOR ME.
I HAVE HEARD HE'S NICE, BUT WHO KNOWS? I HOPE I LIKE HIM WHEN I MEET HIM.
THOUGH MY MOTHER SAYS THAT IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT HE LIKES ME.
MOST FAMILIES TURN ME DOWN WHEN THEY FIND OUT THAT I LIVE NEXT TO THIS KHATTA, THAT WE WORK WITH WASTE.
I HAVE SEEN IN FILMS, HOW LOVE IS BLIND.
THAT MUST FEEL SO NICE…
ONCE, A FRIEND OF MINE FELL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE IN THE NEXT GALI. WHEN HER PARENTS FOUND OUT, THEY QUICKLY MARRIED HER OFF TO A BOY FROM THE VILLAGE.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HER SINCE.
I HAVE NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND,
BECAUSE I AM VERY SCARED OF MY PARENTS!
I HAVE ASKED MY MOTHER TO ASK THEIR FAMILY IF I CAN HAVE MY OWN BEAUTY PARLOUR AFTER THE WEDDING.
​
YOU KNOW, I HAVE BEEN GOING TO THESE CLASSES, AND NOW I AM SOMETHING OF A BEAUTY GURU MYSELF, JUST LIKE THE ONES
YOU SEE ON INSTAGRAM.
IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL, HE WILL BE SHIFTING HERE.
I HOPE HE DOESN'T MIND THE STENCH AND THE GARBAGE TOO MUCH.
EVEN IF HE DOES, HE WILL JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO IT. WON'T HE?
JUST LIKE WE ALL DID.
